'''Aragost''' ({{TA|2431}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, p. 196</ref> - {{TA|2588|n}}<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref>, age 157) was the eighth [[Chieftain of the Dúnedain]], succeeding his father, [[Arahad I]], when he died in {{TA|2523|n}}.

History

Aragost's rule was uneventful due to the enemy's forces being concentrated against Gondor and Rhovanion. Aragost died in 2588 - after having ruled for 65 years - and was followed by his son, Aravorn.[2]

Etymology

Aragost's name is never explained but it could mean Sindarin for "Royal Dread", from the prefix ara- meaning "royal", and gost meaning "dread".
